Real X Head is a small Japanese company run by Mori Katsura, who makes vinyl toys. Over the years there have been a number of figures and variations released as well as collaborations with other people or stores. One such collaboration has been with Onell Design, firstly with smaller 4” sized figures like Pheyaos mini and secondly, with the larger 8” sized Pheyaos man. Onell’s character Pheyden and RealXHead’s Mutant Chaos have been merged together in a very interesting and awesome way that has created a very cool looking toy.

Name: Pheyaos Man
Line: N/A
Manufacturer: RealXHead
Released: 2015
Price: First released – 5,800 YEN. Now – at least 90,000 yen
Scale: 8 Inches in height.
Accessories: None.

It might be a bit sacrilegious thing to say for die-hard Real Head fans, but this particular Pheyaos Man is a kit-bash of sorts, mainly because I don’t know if anyone does kit-bash Real Head figures or not. This particular figure started its life as the so called “UBIOS” Real Head figure which you can see here. I’m pretty sure I bought him from Mandarake Shibuya back in 2015.

 I just wasn’t a fan of the head. I absolutely loved the paint application on the body and wanted to turn him into a Pheyaos Man instead. It took a little bit of time to find a Pheyaos head that would be suitable and a change of neck scarf as well, fortunately Mandarake would happily buy the spare parts too! So, nothing goes to waste so-to-speak haha.

I’m pretty happy with the final result and now have an absolutely unique Pheyaos Man in my collection. The only thing I’m contemplating, is perhaps painting the eye so it is brighter and stands out more.  

SCULPTING

This is one of the standout categories for Pheyaos Man, even though he uses the Chaos Man body, with newly added weapon arm and new head, it is still a very impressive amount of detail. There is detail all over the figure and it is balanced out very well. For me, the head is the coolest part, the combination of Pheyden and Mutant Chaos looks awesome! The doll eye is once again reused and really helps the head sculpt stand out. You can definitely tell there are two characters merged together. The new weapon arm is very cool too and looks very organic. It’s as if Mutant Chaos is done sampling and now ready to fight! Overall, it’s a great figure and an instant classic for me!

PAINT

This particular figure features some absolutely amazing paint applications! I love the red colour it has been cast in, in my opinion it is an excellent red tone, with metallic red highlights and black and sliver to compliment it. The black lines across the figures body really bring the overall design to the next level for me. It just makes the figure look so damn cool. When paint application and design are a big part of these types of figures, it’s great when you can get one that speaks to you personally and inspires you creatively when you look at it.

ARTICULATION

Pheyaos Man has six points of articulation: head, arms, elbows and waist. All these joints are swivels and can be rotated 360 degrees. For this type of figure and the material it’s made out of, this is a great amount of articulation for the larger size toy. You can get a good number of subtle, yet expressive poses. Don’t get me wrong, this toy isn’t super articulated, but it’s not meant to be; even with just the arms down by its sides, in the so called “museum pose” it looks cool. It just has that cool factor about it.

ACCESSORIES

No accessories for this figure, besides the scarf/neck wrap if you can even call it an accessory. Like most Real Head figures this one is pretty damn awesome just by itself, so it’s not a big deal we don’t get anything else!

POTENTIAL PROBLEMS

There are none at all – this is an adult designer toy after all. It is made very well, so there are no issues with it.

PRICE

I thought back in the day, (Circa 2012-2014) that Real Head figures could be a bit pricey, but as of at least 2024 the price has skyrocketed for the larger types of figures. I’m assuming it’s because of international demand? Because Mandarake has increased their prices dramatically. Now, I haven’t checked Yahoo Auctions Japan recently, to see if the trend is the same there. But they sell out at those high prices on Mandarake, so, you are going to have to be a high-roller to afford some of these figures now if you really want them. The average is 90,000 – 150,000 Yen, you’ll be paying quite a lot for them now.

OVERALL

Real Head’s figures always have that cool factor about them. If you don’t get it right now, like me when I first went to Japan and would look at the figures for sale, don’t worry, eventually you’ll understand what makes them so cool once you come across a design you like, in a colour way you like. However, in this current price climate will it be affordable for you or not? I can’t say. If anyone knows why the prices are so high now, it would be great if you could shed some light on the reason. If you can find yourself a Pheyaos Man you like and are happy with the price, don’t hesitate to buy one. You won’t regret it, once you have the figure on your display shelf. He’s an excellent modern sofubi figure and one you should have in your collection.
